Thoughts and ideas are forbidden. The citizens of the society don’t even live as well as pets or strays, they aren’t allowed to have a consience.]]> 2021-04-30 12:55:11 UTC https://padlet.com/dietrichjah/b5w1gnpoq0imrvke/wish/1477940342 A concept is worshipped by society dietrichjah https://padlet.com/dietrichjah/b5w1gnpoq0imrvke/wish/1477942255 ”We strive to be like all our brother men, for all men must be alike.” Rand 19

They all worship the thought of being one, being the same person, lacking any sense of being themselves or having their own personality. ]]> 2021-04-30 12:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/dietrichjah/b5w1gnpoq0imrvke/wish/1477942255 Information, independent thought, and freedom are restricted. dietrichjah https://padlet.com/dietrichjah/b5w1gnpoq0imrvke/wish/1496573743 “And as we all undress at night, in the dim light of the candles, our brother are silent, for they dare not speak the thoughts of their minds." Rand 47

None of the brothers will speak their mind because any sense of individuality is punished in this society. ]]> 2021-05-06 03:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/dietrichjah/b5w1gnpoq0imrvke/wish/1496573743 Citizens are perceived to be under constant surveillance. dietrichjah https://padlet.com/dietrichjah/b5w1gnpoq0imrvke/wish/1496580994 " There is some word, one single word which is not in the language of men, but which had been. And this is the unspeakable word, in which no men may speak nor hear."  Rand 49

The citizens know not to speak this word or say it because if they are caught, which they will be, they will be punished. They are always caught because they are under constant surveillance.

They are probably not all that height, yet they never see themselves so they would never even know. The government puts ideas into their heads and just runs with it. ]]> 2021-05-06 03:50:31 UTC https://padlet.com/dietrichjah/b5w1gnpoq0imrvke/wish/1496602912 Citizens have a fear of the outside world. dietrichjah https://padlet.com/dietrichjah/b5w1gnpoq0imrvke/wish/1496607886 “We knew that men wouldn’t follow us, no one enters the uncharted forest.” Rand 76

Equality knows that since the others were taught through propaganda that the outside world was terrible and horrific, they would never follow him through the forest, they fear it.]]> 2021-05-06 03:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dietrichjah/b5w1gnpoq0imrvke/wish/1496607886
